The False Self in
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is akin to the host personality in
Dissociative Identity Disorder: to moderate and to switch between self-states
is a secondary psychopath and to regulate the resulting repression, denial,
splitting, dissociation, and other infantile defenses in an attempt to maintain
self-constancy rather than object constancy.
Mortification is an
extreme and intolerably painful form of shame-induced traumatic depressive
anxiety.
Consequently, the
Borderline patient seeks mortification in order to feel alive, not free: she
seeks to introduce novelty, thrills, and reckless risk taking into her life via
chaotic drama. It is the only way she can experience transformation and also
the only method open to her when she feels like self trashing, self-punishment,
or self-mutilation).
Mortification in
Borderlines is self-inflicted in preemptive abandonment and the Borderline then
copes by becoming dissociative (disappearing) or by displaying traits and
behaviors of a secondary psychopath (making others disappear), or, more
commonly, both.
